On Vaccines, Adjuvants and Autoimmunity

 

Immunologists survey the research and it’s not reassuring

By Celeste McGovern



Add one more item to the growing stack of published medical
literature linking vaccines to the current explosion of autoimmune
diseases from skin afflictions to neurological disorders. A paper published online this month in the journal Pharmacological Research
is an international team of immunologists’ roundup of current findings
on vaccine-induced disease -- and their conclusions are in sharp
contrast to public health’s “safe and effective” mantra that denies any
such connection.


“Vaccines and autoimmunity are linked fields,” state the authors led by Luísa Eça Guimarães
of the Zabludowicz Center for Autoimmune Diseases in Tel-Hashomer,
Israel. Just as natural infections can sometimes induce autoimmune
disease, so can vaccination induce autoimmunity that “may be severe and
fatal.”


Autoimmunity can manifest acutely, as encephalitis for example, or in
a wide range of disfiguring and debilitating immune-mediated illnesses
from alopecia to multiple sclerosis. These are soaring
globally and together affect as many as one in five Americans today.
Officials like those at the National Institutes for Health and the
Centers for Disease Control claim some mysterious unidentified
“environmental” factors must be responsible for the epidemic, but they
obstinately refuse to look at the ever-increasing schedule of injected
drugs that target the immune system.
